Description Fernando M. Muniz 2024-12-09 22:00:50 UTC
After launching Dolphin, the tooltip/infotip of video files are opening a window that immediately shuts down.
The tooltip/infotip of images work normally and somehow fixes the ones from videos.

Weird tooltip/infotip behavior.
Comment 2 Akseli Lahtinen 2024-12-13 14:07:16 UTC
Interesting, for me the video won't play at all.
Comment 3 Fernando M. Muniz 2024-12-13 20:55:03 UTC
It's possible that this behavior is because of "ffmpegthumbs".
Comment 4 Fernando M. Muniz 2024-12-13 20:57:24 UTC
Now that I've reinstalled Arch, I don't have this issue anymore, even with "ffmpegthumbs".
Comment 5 Fernando M. Muniz 2024-12-15 09:22:16 UTC
I'm experiencing this bug on Fedora Kinoite.
Comment 6 Akseli Lahtinen 2024-12-15 13:39:17 UTC
Can you share your ffmpegthumbnailer version? You can run `ffmpegthumbnailer -v` to get it.

I have ffmpegthumbnailer version: 2.2.3

Also, I got the video playback working now (I had to set my preview settings to defaults). However I do not get the popup.

Are you on Wayland or X11?

Seems like i don't have ffmpegthumbnailer nor ffmpegthumbs. But the tooltip/infotip is still opening like that.

Perhaps the issue is that title bars are appearing on things that are not supposed to have one, like in Bug 497480 ?

This bug seems to indirectly break renaming under some conditions, since when renaming is initiated and then this tooltip is triggered by the mouse resting on some file, the renaming will be canceled. This seems to be similar to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470238 so perhaps it might be worth making the renaming more robust against such problems.

Switching back to the original distro that the report was made from.
Comment 11 Fernando M. Muniz 2025-01-06 20:14:06 UTC
I've notice that the issue only happens when you launch Dolphin already inside a window that has videos in it.
If you navigate into a folder with videos to test it, the issue won't happen.
Comment 12 Ellie 2025-01-06 20:39:49 UTC

Can confirm it seems to depend on the launch folder. When I launch it in a folder with VP9 .webm files the bug happens. In another folder with an .mp4 file, it works and there's no bug. When I launch from a non-affected folder and then browse to the affected .webm files folder later, there's also no bug happening.

I'm not able to reproduce this on git-master or Dolphin 24.08.3 on Solus

Tested with a folder that has mp4 and webm videos in it. ffmpegthumbs is installed
- Opened Dolphin and navigated to the folder. Hovered over each file. Infotip stays visible with either mp4 or webm.
- Navigated to the folder in Konsole and opened Dolphin from there. No problems.
- Created a link to the folder on the desktop and opened that. No problems.
- Created a folder on the desktop with just the webm file and opened that. No problems.

ffmpegthumbs, version: 24.08.3, release: 86
Comment 14 Ellie 2025-01-07 22:31:28 UTC
I see it on 24.08.3 on postmarketOS/Alpine.
Comment 15 Fernando M. Muniz 2025-02-13 02:25:58 UTC
This bug and Bug 497480 are not happening now that I've updated to Plasma 6.3
Comment 16 Fernando M. Muniz 2025-02-27 21:04:15 UTC
Ok. I'm experiencing it again.

Comment 17 Huanyu Liu 2025-03-05 07:10:37 UTC
I am experiencing a similar bug that may be related to this one:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Prepare a file with a long name, so that it ends with "..." when displaying in Dolphin
2. Make sure "Show on startup: Folders, tabs, and window state from last time" in "Configure Dolphin → Interface → Folders & Tabs" is selected
3. Close and restart Dolphin
4. Hover the mouse cursor onto the long file name

OBSERVED RESULT
A tooltip of the complete file name is shown in a separate window with title bar, and then vanishes immediately

SYSTEM INFORMATION
Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0
Qt Version: 6.8.2
Kernel Version: 6.13.5-arch1-1 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland

This only happens after launching Dolphin right away, without other prior operations. It is not restricted to video files.

Thanks for this. I followed what you did on git-master as well as Dolphin 24.12.2 and can't reproduce that either.
I'll keep this open in case someone is able to reproduce.
Comment 19 Ellie 2025-03-06 00:01:41 UTC
I still see this problem on 24.08.3, the original one.

Are you able to reproduce Bug 497480 aswell? It's another Dolphin issue were a title bar appears where it shouldn't.
Comment 21 Ellie 2025-03-28 00:25:24 UTC
Yup. For me the "move into" window has a title bar too and it opens up at what seems to be a completely wrong position (not where the mouse is).
